The HSE has submitted its draft Capital Plan for the multi-annual period 2011 - 2015. This draft plan is under consideration and requires the Minister's approval with the consent of the Minister for Finance. Details of the plan will be published by the HSE following its approval.

As the element of the Deputy's question relating to whether the community hospital meets the Health Information and Quality Authority's standards is a service matter it has been referred to the HSE for direct reply.
